Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder in which contents of the stomach or small intestine repeatedly move back up into the esophagus (tube connecting the throat to the stomach).

While the medical community appears to be struggling ferociously with the specter of malignant disease, statistics show that in the last few decades cancer rates have been steadily increasing. Alarmingly, it is now estimated that one of three Americans will have had cancer during his or her lifetime. Should this trend continue, within several years it is likely that one of every two Americans will...

Asthma is a disease in which inflammation of the airways restricts airflow in and out of the lungs. The word asthma comes from the Greek word for "panting." The panting and wheezing sound characteristic of asthma occur because of the restricted flow of air.
Normally, when you breathe in an irritant or are subjected to a stressor such as exercise, your airways relax and open, allowing...

Question: My Mother died of Colon Cancer and I have to have a Colonoscopy done every couple of years. I sure would love not to have to go through Colonoscopy procedure if there is another way to check for Colon Cancer.

To my friends in Boston and Cape Cod:
It was exciting to be at the Harvard University lecture and to be actually hearing a doctor, Adiel Tel-Oren, courageous enough to be addressing our broken American Health System. But what was more exciting was the fact that Dr. Tel-Oren shared his vision and plan about how a shift could be done. His plan sounded doable and practical. The solution in fixing...

Many times during the last three years, people have expressed concerns about the cleanliness of restaurant food in general and about what Ecopolitan is doing about it in particular. So here's the scoop:

Question: hello - do you offer any resources, literature, counselling on staying raw during our pregnancy and during the birth? We are about 1 month pregnant and are having trouble finding info on this.
Thank you for what you do.

Question: I just wanted to let you know... I ate at your healthy restaurant last night. I had the "RawVioli," which was delicious. I was, in fact, very impressed. However, shortly thereafter I experienced what seems suspiciously like food poisoning symptoms. Maybe my stomach simply couldn't handle all that raw-ness, but the symptoms conform to my past experiences with food poisoning.

Some of my patients occasionally speak with their friends who happen to be allopathic doctors (orthodox medical-industrial doctors) about their medical care for chronic medical conditions (with which they had no good results until using functional medicine). These medical friends often claim in response that there is "no science" in the practice of non-allopathic health practitioners and...

Question: I listened to the "truth" series and learned so much that helped me really understand what my body needed to be healthy. You really dispelled some important myths for me. It was a real relief to know I didn't need as much protein as I'd been taught. Everything you said helped me understand why I felt worse when I was eating the way Dr. Perricone...

Most of my life I have been a very healthy person, a very energetic outgoing person, fun person, loved to be around people, loved to be active and always had an extremely vigorous appetite. I love to eat. I was raised around good cooks. My mother, grandmother and ex-wife were great cooks. And eating was always a very, very big thing with me. I ate...

My wife and I attended last night’s seminar by Dr. Tel-Oren. I was hoping to thank you personally for bringing the doctor to Harvard, but given the number of people at the end asking questions of you both, I decided to contact you via email.

During many of my lectures here and abroad about the detriment of society's obsessive consumption of dairy products, I noticed that my audiences seemed amenable enough to digesting the scientifically proven facts regarding the close association between milk products and many kinds of cancer, asthma, infections, allergies, auto-immune disease, inflammation, arthritis, weight gain, many...

Nearly 350,000 Americans are affected by one of medicine's most misunderstood diseases, multiple sclerosis. Although there is no known cure, alternative medicine has recognized a number of contributing factors. Often, the early detection and identification of underlying causes combined with strict dietary and life-style guidelines can stabilize or reverse the symptoms.

In the upcoming 5-hour "Electromagnetic Pollution - Solid Solutions" Seminar for both doctors (5 CEUs awarded to applicable Minnesota doctors) and the public, we will explore the underlying mechanism that is a common thread in the evolution of numerous disease conditions, from headaches to joint pain, from multiple sclerosis (MS) to diabetes, and from asthma to cancer.

**Important Note About These Pictures**
"After" pictures were taken immediately following the Novadermy procedure. In some cases the oily or shiny appearance is due to the oil that is applied for the 12 hours immediately at the end of the procedure. Complexions will continue to improve as the new skin matures during the next three months. Studies published in...

How is Novadermy different from other rejuvenation procedures?
This procedure is NOT a face lift, it is not a temporary superficial chemical peel, and no toxins are injected into the face. Novadermy has successfully prevented many people from having surgery, which has many side effects, including scarring, long recovery time, altered facial structure, toxicity (anesthetics and their many...

I will not provide all the details of the trip at this time, nor will I copy everything that I...

A feeling of distress, suffering, or agony caused by stimulation of specialized nerve endings.

These interactions can be likened to a battle between the good guys, the body's natural pain relieving force, and the bad guys, the pain producers. When the good guys are winning the battle, we are not...

An inflammatory disease most commonly seen in teenagers. It affects areas where sebaceous glands are largest, most numerous, and most active.

Solar keratosis, also known as actinic keratosis, is a pre-cancerous skin condition, whereby patches of the skin become rough, crusty, or scaly, and ultimately develop into thick dry bumps that may occasionally slough off and re-form, frequently leading to squamous cell carcinoma (a common yet serious skin cancer). These patches may vary greatly in thickness, color, pigment density, and diameter...

Audience Response from Dr. T's Fall 2011 Lecture at Harvard University
I wanted to thank you for inviting me to Dr. Tel-Oren’s lecture at Harvard. I went into the talk a bit skeptical of “alternative healthcare,” but I soon discovered that what Dr. T was discussing was logical and backed up by a lot of scientific research and personal experience.
Being a biology major and...

Dear Ecopolitan,
I am a 53-year-old woman from South Minneapolis, slightly overweight, who has discovered raw food (living foods) just 3 weeks ago, upon visiting Ecopolitan restaurant, enjoying your delicious raw cuisine (and organic wine...) immensely, and reading the literature you generously made available to me.
I became almost entirely a raw-foodist two weeks ago, and the changes in my body...

Question: Often enough, during parties or meetings, or during my travels (in and out of the airplane...), I am asked questions resembling this: "what if I have a Big Mac just once in a while? Or a Cheese Pizza once a week? Or chocolate just infrequently?"

I frequently encounter the question: "Junk food - how bad can it be if it's "only a rare occurrence"?" Previously, I've touched on this subject; today we will complete this discussion. The past article began as follows:

The Standard American Diet has resulted in a downward spiral of human health despite the country's affluence and abundant resources. Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren brings new information to the table on how to take control of your health, and save your life.

Many of you may have heard Dr. T talk about protein and how too much protein can be compromising your health. He uses the analogy that protein is dirty fuel and it is like running it through your engine without a catalytic converter. There are many reasons to not over consume on protein and I would like to comment and share additional reason to the rhyme.

EcoRaw Living is not only a natural way to satisfy our taste buds and nutrient needs without compromising the principles of ecology, sustainability, and nutritional health. It is a complete approach to life, involving every aspect of cellular nutrition and health that is known to science: Unlike other lifestyle approaches, including many raw food paths that often sadly focus on...
